This is my blog about the day to day lives of my little flock of pet chickens. They're a happy little flock, although they're totally crackers! If you want a laugh, they'll gladly give you one.

A blustery day

Most of the girls really don't like wind.   Titian always makes sure she gets the most sheltered spot, which is the far corner of the cage under the spare coop.   Tu-Tu also usually makes for the spare coop, but today she's trying to decide whether to become broody or not, so has made herself comfortable on some eggs that had been laid earlier by her buddies.

Araucanas are known for being tough cookies, so Punk is scratting around - but close to the spare coop, just in case.   Rebecca, though, takes being tough seriously and is having a dust bath!   However, on occasion I've seen a really strong gust of wind blow them several yards from where they were originally.  They've obviously remembered that, because their "tough" activities are taking place in the sheltered top half of the run.

On breezy days like today, Maggie generally joins Titian and Tu-Tu, but has decided instead to help Irene quarry through to Australia.
